Optically induced hybrid Bose-Fermi system in quantum wells with different charge carriers
Abstract:
It is demonstrated theoretically that the circularly polarized irradiation of two-dimensional conducting systems can produce composite bosons consisting of two electrons with different effective masses (different charge carriers), which are stable due to the Fermi sea of conduction electrons. As a result, an optically induced mixture of paired electrons and normal conduction electrons (the hybrid Bose-Fermi system) appears. Elementary excitations in such a hybrid system are analyzed, and possible manifestations of the light-induced electron pairing are discussed for semiconductor quantum wells.
